Common knowledge of Buddhist etiquette: Precepts and etiquette of lay Buddhists ethics） Buddhist Buddhist: Getting close to Buddhism Chapter 8 Treating life well moral philosophy）1。 Layman Ziyun: The Blessing Sutra of the Great Viagra of the Buddha metaethics）， Therefore, if you don’t understand good and evil in your heart, even if you are busy and hard, you will only get pain in the end.A wise man should temporarily stop the so-called "busy affairs" in his hands and spend time carefully thinking about "what is good and what is evil". Only by deeply understanding good and evil and choosing good and evil can hard work be meaningful, and only by getting rid of suffering and happiness can one be possible. (normative ethics)2、Ding Bingwen layman (applied ethics)3 This is how King Xifan, the lay Buddhist, helped him to chant his mother to the Pure Land. Metaethics Dade lay Buddhist Mingru: The basic characteristics of good and evil are all living beings in the world, pursuing happiness, but what they end up with is nothing more than unforgettable pain. What is the reason?The only reason is that you do not know the cause and effect and do not understand good and evil."Don't know the cause and effect" means not knowing that "there is no way to good and good, but only people call themselves, and the reward of good and evil is like a shadow following the body" ethics What kind of thoughts will cause pain to oneself and others?What kind of thoughts will bring peace to oneself and others?In other words, what kind of thought is evil and what kind of thought is good?The saints from ancient times to the present agree that the thought of only thinking about their temporary happiness is evil;The thought of not thinking about one's temporary happiness, but thinking about others' temporary and ultimate happiness is good.For example, the "Stage of the Path to Enlightenment of the Path to Enlightenment" says: "Love oneself becomes the cause of suffering, and loving oneself is the root of all good things", which means that loving oneself and only considering one's own escape from suffering and gaining happiness is evil, and the source of all suffering;Not thinking about oneself and the temporary and ultimate happiness of others is the foundation of all good. meta- A case recorded in the Four Lessons of Levant-of-Life" says that in the past, several scholars visited Zen Master Zhongfeng, and they asked in confusion: "In Buddhism, it is said that 'The reward of good and evil is like a shadow', but we see: someone is kind, but his descendants are not prosperous;But someone is very evil, but his family is prosperous. It seems that the principle that the Buddha said that "the reward of good and evil is like a shadow to follow" is unreliable.” meta At that time, Zen Master Zhongfeng replied to them: "All emotions have not been cleansed, and the eyes have not been opened. It is often true that good is considered evil and evil is considered good.Don’t you regret your own right and wrong, but blame the heavens for their retribution?"It means that the "self-attachment and troubles" in ordinary people's hearts cannot be purified, so it is impossible to get the correct conclusion when observing things falling into personal paranoia. Therefore, it is common to regard good as evil and refer to evil as good.Why don’t you assert that your understanding of good and evil is inverted, and complain or doubt that there are mistakes in cause and effect? after(Friends )two beyond(closure )。three metaethics Agama Sutra meta Everyone said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you say that our perception of good and evil is inverted?”So Zen Master Zhongfeng asked them to talk about the good and evil they understood in their hearts.One person said, "Swearing and beating is evil, respecting and respecting others is good."Zen Master Zhongfeng replied: "It may not be so."It means that scolding and beating people may not be evil, and respecting others may not be good. You have not grasped the essence of good and evil.One person also said, "Greedy and reckless in taking money is evil, integrity and preservation is good." Zen Master Zhongfeng also replied, "It may not be so."In this way, everyone expressed their views on good and evil, and Zen Master Zhongfeng replied, "It may not be so." metaethics So everyone asks Zen Master Zhongfeng what is good and evil?Zen Master Zhongfeng told everyone: "It is good for people;Benefiting oneself is evil."It means that the body, speech and mind that are good for the purpose of altruism are good;The body, speech and mind that are used for selfish selfish motives is evil. (applied ethics)In this case, Zen Master Zhongfeng told us that the basic characteristic of evil is selfishness, and the basic characteristic of good is altruism, and we must know this.With altruistic motivation and a realistic way of observing, swearing and beating people will help others temporarily and ultimately benefit others. Then beating and scolding people is also good at this time. For example, in order to repent to the evil deeds of his disciple Milarepa and cultivate his inner patience, Master Marpa beats and scolds him, and this is actually a great good;To treat others with selfishness, it is actually to please others in order to make profits for themselves. This is evil. For example, some people in society now express respect by giving gifts to their leaders, but in fact they want to use the rights in the hands of leaders to make their leaders violate the rules recognized by everyone and seek personal gain for themselves. This is actually a great evil.Therefore, good and evil are not external, but only in the inner motivation and purpose are altruistic or self-interest. (normative ethics)Diamond Sutra metaethics The Four Lessons of Life also says: "If you want to accumulate good deeds, you must never give your ears and eyes. Only from the hidden secrets of the heart and wash them silently. It is purely the heart to save the world, so it is the end;If you have a slight charm to the world, it will be a song.If it is purely a loving heart, it is the end;If you have a slight indignation in the world, it will be a song.If it is purely respectful to others, it is the end;If you have a slight sense of playing around, it is a song.All should be carefully distinguished."It means that whenever you want to accumulate good deeds, you must never just take care of other people's eyes and ears, that is, do things that make people look or sound beautiful, but should silently cleanse the selfishness that is difficult to be noticed by yourself and others from the bottom of your heart.If the motivation for doing things in your heart is to benefit others purely, it is true and good;If there is a slight desire to please others and win praise from others, it is hypocrisy.It is purely the heart of loving others, that is truth and goodness;Having a slight dissatisfaction or resentment towards others is hypocrisy.It is purely respect for others, that is truth and goodness;Having a slight sense of playing with others is hypocrisy.These subtle mental aspects of good and evil should be carefully distinguished.

Once, a senior brother asked a contemporary monk: "What is good and what is evil?"The monk replied humorously, "I am good to others and I am good to him, this is not good;If others treat me badly, I will still treat him well. This is goodness.”In fact, this sentence also reveals the true meaning of good and evil.Because others are good to me, I treat him well. If others are bad to me, I treat him badly. This is actually no essential difference from the exchange of goods in the world. The purpose is to repay or exchange for the good to others for others to be good to me, so it is not good;If others treat me badly, I will still treat him well. This is to truly do good for others without seeking my own interests. It is to be purely good for others, so it is good. metaethics Share QR code on WeChat metaphysics female physics(Heart Sutra )How do lay Buddhists release animals? meta Instructions for metaphysics。 Master Pure Land Dharma: There is no good or bad, good or evil, cause and effect in the pure mind. metaphysics Some people are puzzled: "Isn't it natural to think about yourself?In life, shouldn’t we think about our own happiness?” meta From a ultimate perspective, the "I" in our hearts, or "self", is an illusion in our hearts.Just like a mentally ill patient is firmly attached to and believes that there are foreign objects in his body, he really feels as if there are foreign objects in his body. From the beginning of time, ordinary people have also firmly attached to and believe that there is a so-called "I" on his body and mind. After being attached and believed, they will illusionately feel that there is a "self".In the eyes of the saints who have eliminated the "self" of "self" that ordinary people attach to has no essential difference from the foreign objects that exist in the body that mentally ill patients attach to, so this "self" is essentially a kind of ignorance.If a person’s thoughts are for the sake of “self”, then this “ego” will be stronger and ignorance will deepen;"Ego" is the source of all pain. After the ignorance of "ego" deepens, the pain will deepen and happiness will stay away. metaethics one metaphysics In short, the characteristic of good is to seek benefit only, and the characteristic of evil is to seek self-interest.

2 Someone is puzzled: "Others treat me well, and I treat him well, this is not considered good. Is it good to treat him badly?"This is a misunderstanding of this monk's words.To be bad to others, that is, to endanger others, of course it is evil, and there is no doubt that this is not a question;But all the parts that are good for others, which are motivated by personal self-interest cannot be considered good;It is true good to ignore personal gains and losses, relatives and distant things, whether others are useful or not to be useful to you, and to benefit others unconditionally.

12 All living beings in the world are busy and pursuing happiness, but what they get in the end is nothing more than unforgettable pain. What is the reason?The only reason is that you do not know the cause and effect and do not understand good and evil."Don't know the cause and effect" means not knowing the truth that "no good and good are the only way to bring good and evil, and the reward of good and evil is like a shadow following the body";"Don't understand good and evil" means that although you know that "fortune and good are caused by good and evil in your heart", you are either confused and ignorant in your heart, or you are confused and confused, believing good as evil, and be good as good, or even though you have knowledge, you are hesitant in your heart and unable to choose good or evil.
